PREFACE 


Eecentlt,  for  causes  which  this  book  is  intended  to  obviate, 
many  teachers  have  abandoned  the  use  of  a  regular  spelling 
book,  preferring  to  select  the  words  from  other  text-books. 
This  plan  has  been  found  deficient  in  at  least  two  particulars. 
Certain  words  often  misspelled  do  not  properly  belong  to  any 
subject  of  the  school  curriculum ;  and,  more  serious  still,  words 
copied  from  dictation  or  from  the  blackboard  are  often  incor- 
rectly copied,  and  hence  a  wrong  concept  is  formed.  This  vol- 
ume is  presented  with  a  view  to  overcoming  these  difficulties. 

The  words  were  selected  by  class-room  teachers.  Several 
teachers  in  a  certain  grade  observed  the  class  vocabulary  for 
one  year ;  each  teacher  then  submitted  a  list  of  several  hundred 
words.  These  lists  were  subsequently  compared,  condensed, 
and  approved  at  a  joint  consultation  of  teachers,  principals, 
and  superintendent. 

The  selection  was  governed  by  five  important  considerations  : 

1.  What  words  ought  children  of  a  certain  age  to  know  ? 

2.  What  words  are  they  obliged  to  use  in  their  various 
subjects  ? 

3.  What  words  are  they  likely  to  misspell  ? 

4.  What  words  do  they  use  in  ordinary  conversation  ? 

5.  What  words  will  they  be  obliged  to  use  in  after  life  ? 
Geographical  terms  have  been  omitted,  because  courses  of 

study  differ  very  materially  as  to  the  time  when  this  subject 
is  begun,  what  topic  should  first  be  treated,  and  what  method 
should  be  employed. 

Although  children  will  misspell  words  in  composition,  which 
they  spell  correctly  when  listed,  no  effort  has  here  been  made 
to  present  a  language  book.  Dictation  exercises  have  been 
omitted  for  three  chief  reasons : 


1.  To  compose  a  paragraph  containing  all  the  words  of  a 
certain  lesson  or  group,  no  matter  what  the  plan  of  classifica- 
tion may  be,  is  to  present  that  which  is  sure  to  lack  literary 
merit  if  not  sense. 

2.  To  present  masterpieces  of  literature  from  which  words 
are  to  be  selected,  is  to  assume  that  the  child  needs  to  know 
and  is  likely  to  misspell  such  words  only  as  are  found  in 
literature  proper. 

3.  To  give  appropriate  dictation  exercises  involving  words 
presented,  would  be  to  outline  in  detail  an  entire  course  of 
study,  to  reproduce  juvenile  conversation,  and  to  suggest  plans 
of  correlation  beyond  the  province  or  purpose  of  the  authors. 

Little  effort  has  been  made  to  classify  the  words,  because 
careful  gradation  interferes  with  close  classification.  The  less 
difficult  words  are  at  the  beginning  of  chapters,  because  other 
subjects  of  the  curriculum  are  so  arranged  and  graded. 

The  lists  are  not  designed  to  place  a  limit  upon  the  number 
of  words  to  be  taught  in  each  grade ;  they  are  presented 
simply  as  a  minimum  requirement.  Each  teacher  is  at  liberty 
and  is  expected  to  teach  such  other  words  as  are  necessary. 
This  plan  should  prevent  a  vast  amount  of  duplication  and 
much  unnecessary  drill  upon  words  already  well  known. 

In  the  preparation  of  matter  for  this  book  I  have  been  ably 
assisted  by  two  grammar-school  principals  of  White  Plains, 
Miss  Lodiski  L.  Williams  and  Miss  Julia  Van  Orden.  To 
them  and  all  the  teachers  who  have  assisted  in  preparing  the 
different  lists,  I  desire  to  express  my  appreciation.  I  wish 
also  to  credit  Superintendent  Fred  E.  Knapp,  of  Hempstead, 
N.Y.,  with  giving  me  the  first  suggestion  which  led  to  this 
publication.

SUGGESTIONS   TO   TEACHERS 

METHOD 

1.  At  each  recitation  the  words  for  next  lesson  should  be  spelled 
orally,  pronounced,  their  meaning  discussed,  and  their  use  illustrated. 
Words  should  be  carefully  scrutinized,  the  teacher  calling  attention 
to  any  peculiarity  in  spelling. 

2.  The  pupils  afterwards  prepare  this  lesson  for  next  day. 

3.  At  the  next  spelling  recitation  the  advanced  lesson  is  treated  as 
above,  and  the  pupils  are  then  called  upon  to  write  from  memory  the 
words  discussed  on  the  previous  day. 

4.  It  is  well  to  have  words  pronounced  by  those  pupils  who  are 
naturally  deficient  in  enunciation  or  phonics. 

5.  Have  an  oral  review  at  least  once  each  week. 

If  a  lesson  is  properly  prepared,  it  is  unnecessary  for  the  teacher  to 
pronounce  the  words,  and  there  is  no  doubt  that  pupils  will  make 
a  more  thorough  preparation  if  they  do  not  have  the  pronunciation 
to  lean  upon.  This  method  has  stood  the  test  of  practice,  and  the 
results  are  highly  gratifying.  Better  spelling  is  obtained  in  all 
written  work,  greater  concentration  and  less  dreaming  are  manifested 
in  recitation  as  well  as  in  the  preparation  of  every  subject. 

Spelling  is  largely  a  matter  of  memory,  and  the  chief  reasons  why 
children  spell  so  poorly  is  that  they  copy  words  incorrectly,  they 
dawdle  over  the  preparation,  and  they  gain  wrong  concepts  of  the 
words  or  no  concept  at  all. 

MATTER 

1.  Each  teacher  should  not  only  teach  the  words  of  her  own  grade, 
but  should  give  a  sufficient  amount  of  drill  upon  the  words  of  pre- 
ceding grades;  no  recitation  should  be  confined  entirely  to  the  study 
of  new  words. 

2.  The  spelling  of  all  geographical  terms  and  proper  names  should  be 
taught  as  the  words  occur  in  the  daily  lessons.  In  all  subjects,  either 
elementary  or  advanced,  new  words  should  receive  careful  attention, 
and  the  spelling  as  well  as  the  meaning  should  be  mastered. 

3.  Homonyms  and  antonyms  are  extremely  troublesome  to  children, 
hence  a  large  number  of  exercises  involving  such  words  are  presented. 
Most  of  these  have  been  taken  from  class  work  or  have  been  suggested 
by  the  grammar-school  pupils.  That  the  great  law  of  comparison 
may  be  utilized,  the  words  are  arranged  in  groups,  although  some 
educators  object  to  this  plan.     Sentences  instead  of  definitions  have 

5 


been  used  in  the  lower  grades  to  elucidate  this  class  of  words,  because 
the  illustration  is  more  likely  to  be  neglected  by  the  teacher,  while 
the  definition,  because  of  brevity,  is  apt  to  be  misleading  if  not 
wrong.  Above  the  fifth  grade  neither  sentences  nor  definitions  are 
given,  as  the  pupils  at  this  age  are  supposed  to  be  able  and  anxious 
to  help  themselves  to  the  meaning  and  use  of  such  homonyms  and 
antonyms  as  may  be  presented  in  each  lesson. 

4.  Dictation  exercises  should  be  used  to  test  penmanship,  capitali- 
zation, paragraphing,  syntax,  and  spelling,  but  it  should  be  remem- 
bered that  spelling  is  only  a  feature  of  this  sort  of  work. 

To  afford  material  for  dictation  work  of  a  helpful  kind,  synonyms 
have  been  introduced  with  the  other  w^ork  in  the  fourth,  fifth,  and 
sixth  grades.  At  first  each  group  is  supposed  to  occupy  two  periods ; 
one  for  discussion  and  preparation  and  the  other  for  recitation.  A 
study  of  synonyms  not  only  improves  the  sj)elling,  but  it  enlarges  the 
child's  vocabulary,  increases  his  interest  in  the  dictionary,  and  leads 
to  greater  fluency  of  expression. 

5.  As  an  outgrowth  of  the  work  in  synonyms,  words  easily  con- 
fused are  presented  in  the  seventh  grade.  This  line  of  work  is 
helpful  in  the  matter  of  enunciation  and  discrimination,  and  it  can 
be  increased  as  the  teacher  may  desire. 

6.  Children  should  consult  a  dictionary  not  only  for  the  pronuncia- 
tion and  spelling  of  words,  but  for  the  origin  and  meaning.  Webster's 
dictionary  is  recommended  for  use  in  this  work. 

7.  One  of  the  chief  reasons  why  children  spell  so  poorly  is  that 
rules  are  seldom  taught.  Keeping  this  fact  in  mind,  we  present  some 
of  the  most  common  as  well  as  the  most  general  rules  of  orthography, 
and  at  a  time  when  the  children  are  able  to  make  intelligent  use  of 
them. 

8.  No  attempt  has  been  made  to  present  an  exhaustive  list  of 
abbreviations.  As  they  arise  from  day  to  day  in  arithmetic,  geog- 
raphy, language,  and  other  subjects  they  should  be  thoroughly  taught 
and  thoroughly  illustrated. 

9.  The  poems  at  the  end  of  the  chapters  for  the  lower  grades  are 
introduced  for  memorizing,  and  to  aid  in  the  method  recommended. 

10.  All  written  work  must  be  carefully  reviewed  and  correct  spelling 
required  at  all  times. 

11.  Sight,  hearing,  motor  activity,  attention,  and  every  possible 
faculty  should  be  brought  to  bear  during  a  spelling  period.  Insist 
upon  concentration  and  the  results  will  be  certain.

THE    CHILDREN'S   HOUR 

Between  the  dark  and  the  daylight, 
When  the  night  is  beginning  to  lower, 

Comes  a  pause  in  the  day's  occupations, 
That  is  known  as  the  Children's  Hour. 

I  hear  in  a  chamber  above  me 

The  patter  of  little  feet, 
The  sound  of  a  door  that  is  opened, 

And  voices  soft  and  sweet. 

From  my  study  I  see  in  the  lamplight, 
Descending  the  broad  hall  stair, 

Brave  Alice,  and  laughing  Allegra, 
And  Edith  with  golden  hair. 

A  whisper,  and  then  a  silence : 
Yet  I  know  by  their  merry  eyes 

They  are  plotting  and  planning  together 
To  take  me  by  surprise. 

A  sudden  rush  from  the  stairway, 

A  sudden  raid  from  the  hall ! 
By  three  doors  left  unguarded 

They  enter  my  castle  wall ! 


20  SECOND   YEAR 

They  climb  up  into  my  turret, 

O'er  the  arms  and  back  of  my  chair; 

If  I  try  to  escape  they  surround  me ; 
They  seem  to  be  everywhere. 

They  almost  devour  me  with  kisses, 
Their  arms  about  me  entwine, 

Till  I  think  of  the  Bishop  of  Bingen 
In  his  Mouse  Tower  on  the  Rhine ! 

Do  you  think,  0  blue-eyed  banditti. 
Because  you  have  scaled  the  wall, 

Such  an  old  mustache  as  I  am 
Is  not  a  match  for  you  all  ? 

I  have  you  fast  in  my  fortress, 

And  will  not  let  you  depart, 
But  put  you  down  into  the  dungeon 

In  the  round-tower  of  my  heart. 

And  there  will  I  keep  you  forever, 

Yes,  forever  and  a  day. 
Till  the  walls  shall  crumble  to  ruin. 

And  molder  in  dust  away. 

-— Henby  Wadswobth  Longfellow.

THE   BAREFOOT   BOY 

Blessings  on  thee,  little  man, 
Barefoot  boy,  with  cheek  of  tan ! 
With  thy  tnrned-up  pantaloons 
And  thy  merry  whistled  tunes ; 
With  thy  red  lip,  redder  still 
Kissed  by  strawberries  on  the  hill ; 
With  the  sunshine  on  thv  face. 
Through  thy  torn  brim's  jaunty  grace : 
From  my  heart  I  give  thee  joy, — 
I  was  once  a  barefoot  boy ! 
Prince  thou  art  —  the  grown-up  man 
Only  is  republican. 
Let  the  million-dollared  ride ! 
Barefoot,  trudging  at  his  side, 
Thou  hast  more  than  he  can  buy 
In  the  reach  of  ear  and  eye,  — 
Outward  sunshine,  inward  joy ; 
Blessings  on  thee,  barefoot  boy ! 

Oh,  for  boyhood's  painless  play, 
Sleep  that  wakes  in  laughing  day, 
Health  that  mocks  the  doctor's  rules, 
Knowledge  never  learned  of  schools, 
Of  the  wild  bee's  morning  chase, 


36  THIRD   YEAR 

Of  the  wild-flower^  s  time  and  place, 
Flight  of  fowl  and  habitude 
Of  the  tenants  of  the  wood; 
How  the  tortoise  bears  his  shell, 
How  the  woodchuck  digs  his  cell, 
How  the  ground  mole  sinks  his  well ; 
How  the  robin  feeds  her  young, 
How  the  oriole's  nest  is  hung; 
Where  the  whitest  lilies  blow, 
Where  the  freshest  berries  grow, 
Where  the  groundnut  trails  its  vine, 
Where  the  wood  grape's  clusters  shine ; 
Of  the  black  wasp's  cunning  way, 
Mason  of  his  walls  of  clay, 
And  the  architectural  plans 
Of  gray  hornet  artisans ! 
For,  eschewing  books  and  tasks, 
Nature  answers  all  he  asks ; 
Hand  in  hand  with  her  he  walks, 
Face  to  face  with  her  he  talks. 
Part  and  parcel  of  her  joy;  — 
Blessings  on  thee,  barefoot  boy ! 

—  John  Greenleaf  Whittier.

SUPPOSE 


How  dreary  would  the  meadows  be 
In  the  pleasant  summer  light, 
Suppose  there  wasn't  a  bird  to  sing, 
And  suppose  the  grass  was  white. 

And  dreary  would  the  garden  be. 
With  all  its  flowery  trees, 
Suppose  there  were  no  butterflies. 
And  suppose  there  were  no  bees. 

And  what  would  all  the  beauty  be, 
And  what  the  song  that  cheers. 
Suppose  we  hadn't  any  eyes. 
And  suppose  we  hadn't  ears. 

For  though  the  grass  were  gay  and  green. 
And  song  birds  filled  the  glen. 
And  the  air  were  purple  with  butterflies. 
What  good  would  they  all  do  then  ? 

Ah,  think  of  it,  my  little  friends; 
And  when  some  pleasure  flies, 
Why,  let  it  go,  and  still  be  glad 
That  you  have  your  ears  and  eyes.
